Uncle Sam, General Winfield Scott and That Cussed Varmint
| Uncle Sam and General Winfield Scott discuss what to do with a Secession snake. Uncle Sam sits in a chair which is tipped back and his foot is resting on a short stool. Scott is standing with a noose in his hand. The Secession snake has escaped from a wooden box. Dialog below reads, "Uncle Sam. That cussed varmint has broke out of the box again. Put it back, Scott, and nail it down fast; we can't have the critter runnin' over the farm. Scott. If it makes no particular difference to you, I should like to experiment with this piece of string; I've an idea we can dispense with the box altogether!" Blue ink on cream envelope, image on left side. |
